"As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself."

"But the greatest thing about music is putting it out there for people to figure out. You want the listener to find the song on their own. If you give too much away, it takes away from the imagination."
Imagination
"You know, I've sung a lot of emotional songs in my life, but when you're writing it yourself, it's very difficult to decide what to reveal."
Life
"I'm not really on a mission to tell anybody anything. I'd rather be figured out."
Mission

Character
"When you drive by Radio City and you see your name up there and it's only 'your' name. I just went 'ooh'. I thought this is really like looking at another person."
Thought
"I love music so much I love what I do. I work very hard at being the best musician I can be because I love it."
Love
"So much of what we do as artists is a combination of personal experience and imagination, and how that all creeps into your work is not so linear."
Experience
"I like to interpret 'Call me a River', as if I'm saying, 'Now you're telling me you love me after all that, and I'm telling you to shove off.' That's my interpretation. But I would never 'say' that because somebody else might interpret the song in another way."
Love
"I mean, I don't think I would call Claus to do an album of big band tunes. You know, just like arrangers write for the artist they have in mind; you have to keep in mind if you're going to work with Claus Ogerman. You invite him to do what he does."
Work
"I think that I was being much more uptight about those things before. I feel like I really don't have to prove anything at this point other than what I'm doing."
